Words don’t begin to describe this. At least a million people marched across Caracas to final campaign rally by Manuel Rosales, who is challenging Hugo Chavez for the Venezuelan presidency, and as Alek Boyd notes, the entries to the city were blocked off so that outsiders could not be ‘bused in’ or otherwise travel to Caracas. This pure local sentiment in Venezuela on display, something that puts the lie to certain polls that claim Chavez has a high lead. Even some of the mainstream media are questioning this.

See the rest of Alek’s photo show, which he took from climbing a billboard here.
